Abstract:Hybrid-NOTES for diverticular disease may be indicated in more than 80% of cases. In respect of intraoperative change of treatment, hybrid-NOTES is feasible in two thirds of patients. Given a high level of expertise, hybrid-NOTES can be provided as a standard procedure in sigmoidectomy for diverticular disease.
NOTES-procedures are performed in animal experiments as well as in clinical setting although with less frequency. At this time, hybrid techniques using rigid instruments are mainly applied.
